This generation has by no means passed away.

just seen on the british news a commemoration of the soldiers who fought in wwi.. the generation has by no means passed away.

there are 23 old british soldiers remaining, although sadly only 4 were able to attend the commemoration at the cenotaph.

the youngest is still only 104.. so there is hope yet that the prophecy may still be fullfilled.. has to be quick though boys !!.

today has not been too good.

yesterday, while i was in sydney for the day with a friend (to have a break and do a girlie shopping day)..............i received a phone call from my brother to inform me that a very special cousin of mine in italy had committed suicide.

i was devastated, she was so special and we had been close.. so here i was driving back from sydney last night knowing a loved one was dead!

hey!

ok, we all know of this uncanny word play about not saying, "you were lucky," and not saying "bless you" after someone sneezes.

but this is a bizarre one i heard.

Who actually did the disfellowshipping?
by barbar in
1. jw
2. experiences
.

when i was disfellowshipped, i was really looking for a way out, although i did not want to be disfellowshipped, it was easier than making the break on my own.. i appreciate that many are distraught when they get df'd, but was the actual meeting controlled by the elders or you?.

how many were really in control of the meeting and knew that being disfellowshipped was actually a way of ensuring that you would get no more hassle from the elders?

My conversation with my pioneer mother

as freedom96 noted on an earlier post, my mother is in town.

we have had a situation this week concerning his son, which he well elaborate on at a later date, and i don?t feel it is my place to relay the story first.

suffice to say for the moment that we are both hurting immensely from what has been said, and it has brought on some pretty strong emotions.
